There does not seem to be lots of interest in this, but I would also
find it useful to have frequency of use influence the scoring/sorting of
items. I run into issues fairly often with applications where I wind up
launching the wrong one because some obscure application is the first
result. For example if I type "update" to try to run Software Updater, I
instead get an application that has Update in the title but that I have
never intentionally run. Or I often want to type "calc" to get
Calculator, but instead wind up with LibreOffice's calc which I also
rarely use and don't mind having to click or use more keypresses for the
exceptional cases.

Another way to approach it could be to remember that, for me, calc means
Calculator rather than LibreOffice Calc. Collect the stats to know that
9 times out of 10 when typing calc I end up launching Calculator, and
give me that. That way rather quickly after using the dash users have
created their own shortcuts and it does what they want.
